"General Bonaparte, these are the wishes of His Majesty the Pope, please take a look!" The pale and fat archbishop stretched out his right hand to one of the silver boxes decorated with emeralds, gently lifted the lid, and presented the treasure to Napoleon with a flattering smile.

The moment the box was opened, the box shone with dazzling brilliance, and in an instant, the jewels gushed out of the box, occupying all the space around it in an instant.

"What's that word for? That's right, it's blooming! This may not be the right word to use here, after all, the modern meaning of the word refers to the arrival of a guest in the house. But Han Xing felt that he couldn't find a better adjective!

The place they were in was nothing more than an abandoned farm on the banks of the Rubicon River, a shabby and dilapidated place, with rough untreated wooden planks on the walls, and the floor creaking on it, and Han Xing walked on thin ice with every step, for fear that he would fall into the air with one foot. The air is also covered with choking dust, and there are even dense cobwebs here, which is enough to make people daunted, and even have an urge to set a fire "a hundred".

And the appearance of these jewels (pearls are not rare in Europe, the Mediterranean is full of seas, and the Caribbean is also rich in this, so pearls are actually not rare in foreign countries, but they are awkward to call other names) made the place monotonous and gray in an instant, as if adding a filter to the room.

The beautifully crafted gold coins are as big as the chocolates you had eaten as a child, and the smaller ones are the size of a one-dollar coin, and the smooth surface of the coins is as translucent as a mirror, making you want to reach out and touch them.

And those gold coins are accompanied by a brilliant gems, mostly red, green, blue, different shapes, square, polygonal, diamond-shaped, I have to say, these gems and gold color really match, they are densely stacked together, the surface of the gold coin anti-(shè) light and then through the translucent gemstone scattered (shè), think this is the main source of the legendary jewelry!

And that's just one box! As the cardinal clapped his hands, the porters behind opened the boxes one after another, and there were dozens of boxes of such jewelry! For a moment, the whole world seemed to be occupied by the brilliance of colorful jewelry!

"That's a lot of gold and silver jewelry!" Han Xing swallowed a mouthful of saliva, almost salivating with his eyes coveting this box of gold and silver treasures, isn't this the scene that every person with wealth wants to see in his dreams? Han Xing couldn't wait to grab the gold and gems inside and rub them on himself like a heart baby, even if they were "cold and hard, and even scratched his skin", Han Xing was willing to warm them with his own blood!

"Good thing no one saw it!" After losing his mind slightly for about a few seconds, Han Xing put away his ugliness. Quietly took out a handkerchief, looked around awkwardly, and saw that no one paid attention to him, so he wiped the saliva from the corner of his mouth.

Looking around, except for the bishop who had expected it for a long time and the dozens of porters who were trembling, not daring to breathe, and not daring to raise their heads, almost everyone present was shocked by these dozens of boxes of jewelry! Napoleon and his men were all shēn, and the best one was Bertier, but he was just a major general, how much money could he have?

Han Xing could subtly sense a subtle sneer on the corner of the bishop's mouth, and he immediately used the mind-reading technique, and immediately learned the bishop's heart: "Dirt buns are earth buns, Gallic barbarians from the Alps, just a few boxes of jewels will fascinate you like this!" ”

"I'm a serious person from the Great Celestial Empire who has seen the world! This thing is trying to fool me, too? Am I not ashamed of my fathers and fathers? Cut, this bishop is really scheming! ”

Following the bishop's gaze, Han Xing noticed the strangeness in it, he stepped forward and kicked a few bites of the box, and the sound was hollow! These seemingly full boxes are only half of them, like modern over-packaged black-hearted gift boxes! And it happened to be placed in the sun, and after a series of optical effects such as folding (shè) and scattering (shè), it produced such amazing and cool visual effects as just now.

"Anyway, who just now had their eyes shining and their saliva was dripping? I'm really watching! Louis XVI quipped.

"Accident, accident, I've never seen so many gems and gold stacked together when I'm so big!" Han Xing pleaded weakly, I am afraid that the gold, silver and jewelry in front of him will have to rob dozens of gold stores and jewelry stores in a row to make it up!

"General Bonaparte, look, this is a ruby cut by the most skilled craftsmen of Florence! Look, what a flat facet, what a perfect shape, this is a work of art! As long as you're willing to lead the army back, it's all yours! The cardinal grabbed a crystal clear ruby and shook it in front of Napoleon's eyes.

"If the Holy Father wanted to show me his kindness, then why didn't he show up in person?" Napoleon patted the cardinal's hand away with disdain, glanced at the treasures and said. He grabbed a handful of one of the chests, and with a nonchalant expression, he let the gold coins and gems slip from his fingertips, and Ding Ling fell back into the box with a sigh of relief.

These paintings are all fine works of art handed down from the Italian Renaissance, including the works of great masters such as Raphael and Michelangelo! You'll love it, they're definitely perfect to hang anywhere in your home! Realizing that Napoleon seemed to be immune to gold and precious stones, the Bishop sensed a sense of crisis, and he immediately had a painting wrapped in oiled paper and (rè) (qíng) to sell to Napoleon.

It's a pity that Napoleon's ability to appreciate art is also worrisome! He was a mathematician, a standard science student, and since ancient times the arts and sciences were incompatible, it was better to expect a monkey to learn to wash his hands than to expect a monkey to understand art! Those concise figures and crudely sketched geometry are his art, a three-dimensional trapezoid seems to him to be a well-defended fortress, a simple arc seems to him the flight trajectory of a cannonball, and he is proficient in the art of war and destruction!

"Take these rags away from me, Bonaparte can't be bought with such things!" Napoleon clapped his hands in disdain, as if they had been contaminated with deadly bacteria or had been soaked in fecal water, making him feel disgusted.

"Strong, I'll take the emperor! The vision is high, worthy of being the great hero in my mind! Han Xingbu (jìn) praised in his heart. He also improvised a quatrain for Napoleon, "If ambition is not changed by wealth, will ambition be changed by beauty?" - "Well, it seems that the latter sentence is not suitable for him, this thing is a dog so far, and the court (rì) often surrenders to Josephine·······"

"Go back and tell the Holy Father that I, Bonaparte, am not Attila the Second (the Emperor of the Huns, who led a great army almost to Rome), and even if I am Attila the Second, am he not also the successor of Leo (the former Pope, who persuaded Attila to quit)? If he wants peace, he should come to me in person! Napoleon's words were carried with a gun and a stick, and he vaguely pointed out, "I have every strength to attack the city of Rome, but I don't want to!" ”

Seeing that the archbishop, who had thought that he had won the victory, had a pale face and ran away with his tail between his legs, Han Xing gloated for a while, "Let you call me a barbarian!" you! ”

"He wants to buy me for all this money, and what does he think of me Napoleon Bonaparte?" However, when everyone dispersed, only Han Xing and Napoleon were left, Napoleon's words almost made Han Xing vomit blood on the spot.

"I'll go, and say yes, and treat money like dung? Said "don't bend your waist for five buckets of rice"? I thought you were a white lotus in the turbid world, but I didn't expect you to be a black-hearted lotus! The co-author is because he gave it less, and he doesn't call your heart~~~~~" Han Xing rolled his eyes and said speechlessly for a while.

"Don't be stupid, Hanschel! The most important thing to fight a war is money, where can the cannon come from without money? Where is the food without money? What do you think drove Alexander the Great to the East? Burning and never quenching ambition? Wrong! He is purely here to plunder the riches of the mysterious East to pay off his debts! Napoleon looked distressed and said to Han Xing.

"I didn't expect Alexander to be a 'negative second generation', a money slave who repays loans······· It really refreshed my three views! Han Xing suddenly felt the thunder rolling in the sky, and said dumbly.

"You know, we have an absolute advantage in this war, and now it's time to squeeze them dry at the negotiating table! It's a subtle art, and I'm going to make them give up all the riches, weapons, food, and everything of Rome willingly, like shaving sheep! This is something that a simple war cannot do! Learn something, Hanschel! Napoleon looked at the city of Rome on the map and said with excitement on his face, his ambition burning at this moment.

———————————————————————————————————————

A few days later, the Holy Father finally deigned to be in the humble room of the abandoned farm.

Under the crown of the Pope is an old man with gray hair, a ruddy complexion, slightly fat, and a face (ròu) (ròu), which looks kind and kind, and really has a bit of a solemn meaning.

He wore an ornate crown of bright yellow inlaid with pearls, a clerical robe in bright yellow with a white clergy robe, and a white cloak (shēn) that symbolized holiness. Behind him are two servants each holding a one-man tall scepter, topped by a gilded Catholic cross, which is the pomp (shēn) proper for a Christian leader.

"My child!" His Majesty the Pope looked uncomfortable with the air quality, and as soon as he entered the room, he covered his mouth with his left hand (tào) wearing a pearl silk hand and began to cough dryly, but he resisted the discomfort and handed his right hand with the ruby ring to Napoleon.

Surprisingly, Napoleon did not begin with the traditional procedure of the Catholic Monarchs' audience with the Pope - kneeling down and kissing the ring on the Pope's right hand as a sign of respect. He just bowed slightly, smiled and shook the Pope's outstretched right hand and said, "Holy Father! ”

wanted to laugh, Han Xing felt like laughing, but he didn't dare to laugh out loud. At this time, the bī (bī) on the faces of the cardinals and the pope is so wonderful that it seems to say, "I rub it, you don't play your cards according to common sense!" You should kneel down and call Daddy! ”

"Are you stupid when we are General Bonaparte? How could he kneel down for you? He's the one who wants to negotiate with you, and he swears to squeeze your money out until he kneels for you at the beginning, and the negotiations will be a head shorter later! Han Xing instantly understood Napoleon's purpose.
